Thank you

Sorry

There’s a big world of big data tools and services, and many of the leading ones are on display this week at Strata World/Hadoop World in San Jose. From the latest distributions of open source database technology to handy tools for helping to manage them, check out some of the latest big data technology hitting the market this week.

Key features: R Server for HDInsight runs Microsoft R Server as a service on top of HDInsight. Using Hadoop and Spark, you can scale R scripts to handle data up to 1000x larger than what is achievable with open source R and up to 50x faster performance through multi-threaded math libraries and transparent parallelization of R Server.
